Childhood Toy

Post Reply New Topic

Do you remember your fave childhood toy?

Of course! How could I not??

There wasn't one though, but 3:

The first was a huge red and blue truck. It was big enough that I could sit on its cargo bed and be pulled (it had a string attached to it).
The second was a long limbed teddy bear I named Daniel.
The third was a grey and white seal named Nordlys.

I loved them so much and just seeing them or thinking of them makes me sentimental. I still have all 3 in storage.

I remember having this bright yellow bell; you pulled the string and some tune would play. I carried it everywhere like a personal totem.

I've got lots:-

-My tatty teddy bear I carried around everywhere (hence why he got tatty)
-Toy kitchen, it was brightly-coloured with lots of accessories that went with it
-Thomas the Tank trains (I had nearly every one)
-Sylvanian families boat (had a lodge too)
-Polly Pockets
-Lego

My favorite was a stuffed toy Siamese cat.

I had quite a few toys as a kid that I remember with a lot of fondness:

My Cabbage Patch dolls. I used to take them just about everywhere with me.

My Fisher-Price camcorder I owned when I was really young. It was like an old hand-held movie camera that you slid cartridges into, and then you'd turn a crank and watch a clip from an old cartoon. You could make it move in reverse, too. Back in the late-70s-early-80s that was kind of a big deal.

My Magna-Doodle.

Plasticine. My mother usually bought me this and not Play-Doh because Plasticine never dried out, so I could make stuff with it and and not have to stuff it back into container when I was done.

Many small plastic dolls and figures - I would take them outside, into the woods or to the beach and have them "explore" the gigantic world around them. I could keep them someplace hidden easily because they were small and could keep me company.

Legos

Most of my favorite things were not actually toys. Things like padlocks, flashlights, magnets, bits of rope, and my box of tools were what I liked best, along with my record player. I loved watching it spin and listening to my records over and over...

Yes. I've still got him. My teddy bear.
